I entered the room to where I've been summoned to, inside I found Caspian sitting on a chair by the fireplace, Edmund rummaging through some papers on his desk and to my surprise Aslan.
"Aslan!" I threw my arms around his neck as I greeted him. Edmund gave me a quick glance and quickly returned to whatever he was doing; Caspian chuckled at my childish behavior.
"Lucy." I let go of Aslan but continued to stroke his fur. Our attention was brought back to Edmund. "Here it is I knew I had it here somewhere!" He exclaimed as he waved an old torn paper in the air. Caspian and Aslan also turned their head to Edmund. "What did you find Edmund?" I asked clearly not knowing what they were previously discussing. "It's an ancient prophecy but to me it looks more like a song, I can't read it some of the words are un-readable." He said examining the paper more closely. Caspian walked over to Edmund and started reading the paper over his shoulder.
"That prophecy is as old as Narnia itself. That prophecy is actually a Call, hence the name 'The Call', it was written by the first Narnia queen." I sat on the chair Caspian previously occupied. "You mean Queen Helena?" Aslan nodded and continued with the story. "After Helena died she was reincarnated in your world, but before she died she wrote 'The Call' incase she was ever needed to aid in battle." I looked over to Caspian and Edmund who seemed to be more confused than I was.
"I think I'm getting a headache, was that the long version or the short version?" I said rubbing my temples which made Aslan chuckle. "Short version, it's more complicated than that. Queen Helena promised she'd come to aid in the time of need no matter when." Edmund scratched his head. "I understand, it's weird but I understand it." Caspian nodded too. "I understand too." I shook my head. "I still don't understand." While Edmund explained it to me, again Caspian examined the paper.
After ten minutes of Edmund explaining it to me I finally understood. "So are we goanna make 'The Call' and if we are how are we goanna make the call?" I asked finally being on the same page as the others. "It has to be made on a full moon at midnight. 'The Call' must be sung while blowing Susan's horn." I thought for a few seconds. "The next full moon is two days away." Caspian nodded. "And the enemies are approaching sooner than what we though." Edmund nodded and gave us the final piece of information that would leave us all restless for the rest of the night. "They resurrected the White Witch." I gasped. "Is that true Aslan?" Caspian asked before I could. Aslan nodded his head. "I'm afraid so." Aslan confessed lowering his head. Nevertheless, how was this possible? She needed blood to come back, human blood. It is impossible, unless…
"How is it possible?" Caspian asked reading my mind. "We still don't know, but that's noting to matter now, we must find a way to kill her again and this time for good." Answered Edmund. "Hence 'The Call'?" I agreed. "Yes, we need her, the White Witch's army has doubled its size and Narnia is starting to freeze." Aslan lowered his head. I felt tears forming at the corners of my eyes, this could not be happening not now when we're about to go to war against the giants of the north. This is bad, really bad, what if they unite forces? I felt my face go red from worry. Aslan walked over to me. "Don't worry Lucy everything's goanna be alright." I nodded then Aslan gave a powerful growl.
I sat up from my bed screaming, sweaty and panting. It was all a dream or was it? Was Aslan trying to tell me something? I had better warm Edmund and Caspian.
A few years into the future and on the other side of the wardrobe, a girl was having the exact same dream; she also woke up screaming her lungs out, covered in sweat and without a breath.
The girl had long dark red hair that reminded her of every color in the sunrise, pale green eyes that trees in spring envied, pale skin that was darkly tanned temporarily, thin pink lips that blended with her skin and a birthmark on the corner of her top lip, and she stood at a high 5'6 with an hourglass figure.
She'd been having that same dream for the past three days; the feeling of paranoia was slowly overtaking her. She removed the heavy blanket that covered the lower half of her body. She stood from her bed and went to get ready for school, there was no use going back to sleep now. Her mind was completely distracted from everything she did today. The teacher scolded her twice for daydreaming, she dint notice her best friend accidentally spilled water on her uniform and she dint flinch when a soccer ball hit her on the back of her head.
"Helen what's wrong with? You seem more distracted than usual." Helena looked at her best friends face and smiled. Her best friend was Korean and had tanned skin, long black hair that reached her elbows and pale blue eyes. "I dint get enough sleep last night, you know how drowsy I get and that history paper has my mind on the edge." Prudence nodded. "If you say so, wanna catch a movie later?" Helena opened the trunk of her Hippie van and placed her bag inside. Helen's older brother and her best friend also placed their bags inside. "Earth to Helena!" Peter waved his hand in front of his sister's face. Helen closed the trunk and handed the keys to her brother. "You drive." Helena sat on the back while Prudence sat in the passenger's seat. "Babe, are you hungry?" Peter asked his girlfriend. Prudence nodded as Peter started the car.
Helen sat in silence the entire ride, completely lost to what the two lovebirds were talking about. She heard her name being called out in the distance somebody was calling her. She'd heard that voice before in her dreams, Aslan. "Helena!" prudence said jolting her awake. "What do you want?" Helena looked at the menu. "I'll have a number 3, with extra large fries and soda and an extra large pair of french fries and a strawberry Sunday." She said to the voice box. "Somebody's hungry today." Her brother joked as she pulled up her window. "Dint have time for lunch." Prudence giggled. "Yeah time passed you by and you dint notice." Peter laughed. "Sounds like my sister." Helena playfully punched her brother on the arm. "Don't hit the driver!" "The car's not even moving you idiot!"
Helen was the first to jump from the car onto the driveway, while Peter opened the garage and Prudence grabbed the food, Helen grabbed the bags. "Need any help sis? I don't want you spacing again and tripping up the stairs." Peter joked. "Ha-ha very funny Peter. That only happened once and you pushed me." The front door was opened by the housekeeper, Mrs. Joy. "Welcome home!" She greeted them while taking their blazers and their bags. Helen and Peter followed Prudence into the kitchen. " Okay double bacon and cheese chicken burger with two large fries, soda and strawberry Sunday for Helen; Triple bacon chicken burger with medium fries and shake for Peter and the rest is for me." Helen turned on the old-fashioned radio they had in the kitchen. "Put some American music!" Prudence said with her mouth full. "Chew Pru!" Helen said browsing through the stations. Helen found the American station and turned up the radio.
Prudence danced to Duffy's 'Mercy'. Helen sat on the countertop and opened her burger. "Begin you for mercy, why won't you release me?" Prudence tried to get Peter to dance but he stayed on the chair. "Lame!" Prudence complained when she couldn't her boyfriend to dance with her. "Now comes the meanie…" Helen said as Prudence called her boyfriend a meanie. Peter laughed as Prudence threw a fry in Helen's direction. "Begin you for mercy!" Prudence tried to hit the top note and failed. "Peter!" Helen complained. "On it!" Peter kissed his girlfriend making her shut up. Helen laughed as Prudence kept on singing. "Peter, Helena!" A female voice rang through the house. "Kitchen!" Peter answered as Helen grabbed her stuff and fled from the kitchen. "Is she still going on about…?" Prudence couldn't finish as a woman entered the kitchen. "Peter, Prudence darling!" The woman greeted them. "Hey mum." The woman opened the fridge to get soda. "Where's Helen?" She asked noticing her daughter wasn't around. "Bathroom." Prudence said munching on a fry. The woman sighted. "Okay then, I have a meeting tonight so I'll be running a little late." Peter looked at his mother, the years hadn't been good on her, the worry lines that formed on her forehead every time she frowned, the short brown and hair that never passed her chin always in that 40's style.
Helen entered the kitchen once she made sure her mother was gone. Prudence and Peter said nothing as a tense silence overcame the kitchen. "I've got homework to do." Duffy's 'Mercy' lingered in the background. Helen grabbed her food and went to her room. "Don't worry Peter, everything will get back to normal." Prudence comforted her boyfriend. "Ever since dad died she's been different. She avoids mum at all cost." Prudence lost her appetite. "C'mon let's go study, we've got a test on Monday." Prudence threw away the rest of the food and followed Peter into the study. Half an hour later and two make out seccions they were finally studying for that test on Monday.
Helena changed into her fencing uniform after completing her homework. She grabbed her Himalayan cat as she left her room. She heard her mom's voice down the hall and hurried to get downstairs. "Oh Caroline, story of our lives. Off to see George today?" The cat mewed sweetly as if it could understand her. "Send him my love." She said letting the cat jump from her arms once they reached the fountain in the backyard. A man was standing on the other side of the fountain. "Miss Luna." "Jared." Helen quickly got into position and started fencing against her teacher.
Prudence and Peter watched from the kitchen window. "Let's go Peter, I have martial arts in half an hour and you have target practice." Peter nodded and led his girlfriend to the car.
